Georgia Takes the Lead in 'Great Peanut Debate'

June 22, 2010

Washington, DC – Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-2) asks for support for Georgia Peanuts in Roll Call’s “Great American Peanut Debate,” part of the annual Congressional Baseball Game.

Voters are asked ‘Which state produces the best tasting peanuts?” Presently, the State of Georgia is in the lead with 39% of the vote, followed by Virginia with 30% in Second Place, and Texas with 15% in Third Place.

“We all know the best tasting peanuts come from Georgia,” said Congressman Bishop. “I have always worked to do my dead-level best for our Georgia Peanut Industry, and I ask everyone to take a few minutes to show your support and vote to keep our Georgia Peanuts in the lead – where they belong!”

Roll Call will host its 49th Annual Congressional Baseball Game next Tuesday, June 29 at 7:05 pm. During the game, Republicans and Democrats will take a break from swinging at each other in Congress to swing at each other on the field.
